033 EVOO The Holy Grail Of Food? - SARAH WOLFERSTAN talks about Olive Oil and Sicily

SARAH WOLFERSTAN trained as an archaelologist. She has worked for the United Nations, the International Organisation for Migration (IOM), and the Council of Europe (CoE) on various cultural heritage projects and is now affiliated to UCL in London in the Institute of Archaeology.

Sarah lives with her Sicilian husband and children in Malmesbury, Wiltshire however they continue to have strong links with Sicily, cultivating and expanding her adopted Sicilian family's olive groves. The family spent 18 months in inland Sicily, learning and understanding how to cultivate and harvest olives to get the most out of their groves. They set up Alivu Sicily and now import extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) to the UK although depending on what each year's harvest yields, there is either plenty to go around or only the lucky few manage to secure a few bottles of this precious liquid.

Sarah has become an ambassador for extra virgin olive oil and its huge health benefits. She is enthusiastically spreading the word to anyone who will listen and I urge you to tune in to this inspiring and eye opening podcast episode - a brief foray into the world of extra virgin olive oil and what we should be looking for while standing in front of the shelves of olive oil bottles in the supermarket.
